Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2838

"Did anything happen to Denise?" said Gwen hurriedly, expressing her concern with a frown as soon as Steven hung up the phone.

True, both she and Luna hated Denise because of what she did to Yannie, but her opinion toward Denise changed after they eavesdropped on the Hughes family's conversation and the things Denise did yesterday. She found herself thinking, from then on, that Denise was not entirely a terrible person. After all, she did receive help from Denise.

If it were not for Denise, she would not have gotten the evidence of how the Hughes family and the Miller family colluded to trick Luke, not even if she had help from Joshua or Thomas.

Therefore, she expressed concern after hearing Denise was in trouble from the phone call Steven was on.

Steven closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. "She knew what she did was wrong. I thought she'd still be stubborn like before, but she probably knew an apology won't be enough to redeem herself. When Thomas requested a very absurd request for her to atone for her sin, she agreed to it right away."

His heart ached as he recalled the things Eva said with a broken heart.

To others, Denise might seem to be a bad person; a despicable woman who would do anything to achieve her purpose and to get Thomas. Nonetheless, that was not the Denise Steven thought. He grew up with her and knew her truest heart.

He also knew…how his parents slowly brainwashed Denise from a kind young girl with her own thoughts into a girl who listened to their parents, becoming solely a tool for them to use for an arranged marriage.

Before the accident that rendered him comatose, he reminded Denise that she should live for herself and not the way their parents wanted them to. It was not wrong to be selfish. At that time, she was proud like a peacock but said the most self-abasement comment.

"Our parents are the ones who gave me my life. Without them, I won't be the person I am today. I'll like anything that they want me to, and I'll do anything that they ask."

Of course, Denise had not gone that crazy because of Thomas at that moment. Regardless of that, she still spoke such an unbelievable comment. Steven thought she was being unreasonable and had tried to avoid and ignore her.
